Someone made a Linux script that emails Sam Altman every day to report how much unused RAM is sitting in your PC. Called Ram-Altman, it monitors your free memory and sends him a daily email if more than 10% is unused. It even includes different email messages and a test mode.

Quite a few people have sent me the "Passkeys are a trap. Do not use them." post on Substack. The post recommends people abandon passkeys and stick to passwords + TOTP, citing what appears to be concerns with attestation as the primary reason. I’ve written a rebuttal as this is really dangerous advice and it's based on some incorrect technical claims. scotthelme.co.uk/passkeys-ar…
